I don't navigate often and the Elemnt and Bolt both did the trick but Machoman is use to the Cyclo 505 and that, in my opinion, was the best navigation computer ever made. It's a real shame Mio/Magellan never kept it updated or fixed it's other bugs.

Compared to the Cyclo 505, the Wahoo lags far behind in navigation. Garmin's are not much better but do proved more map detail. Maybe the Edge 1030 will be an improvement?
I believe Wahoo relies on OSM maps, which tend to be very sparsely labeled in my experience, even with the full web interface. I sometimes try to use the OSM Cycle maps when plotting routes in RwGPS, but I always end up switching back to the Google map because I find it really hard to differentiate roads, even in areas I've intimately familiar with.
